    Damn ...

    Imagine HER on a drunken binge!

    Other than that, I'm rather impressed by the moderation on my comment ...

  2. [OT] Oh my fucking god! (that's what she said!) on Linus Explains his Patch Policy · · Score: 1

    Seriously; it's three minutes since I read that comment, and I'm still laughing!

    Thank you very much for saving my day (and night as it's 5:15 am here).

  3. Don't get in a fight with Linus. on Linus Explains his Patch Policy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Especially when he's drunk. We all know, that Finns carry around huge knives to cut off the balls of polar bears, when they (the Finns that is) go on a binge.

    Being a whiney user just might move you from the "human" to the "polar bear" category.

  4. Re:What happens if you miss? on Laser Shoots Down Artillery Shell In Flight · · Score: 2
    Many current artillery shells have high trajectories that go several km in altitude.
    Yes, well I can certainly imagine that something like a Haubitzer would lob a shell several kilometers into the air.

    Heard a story about a test with a Haubitzer, where they fired a shell more or less directly at a tank almost a kilometer away; according to the story, the tank rolled over some 30 or 40 times ...
  5. Re:PJ's Version Is Disappointing on Article about The Lord of the Rings MASSIVE Crowd · · Score: 1
    How do you film something that's described like, "The Vogon ship hung low in the sky in exactly the way that bricks don't."

    Easy, you just film it in exactly the same way Neaderthals don't.
  6. CG Golum vs. CG Yoda on Article about The Lord of the Rings MASSIVE Crowd · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, that's easy. Yoda has the Force and a light saber, Golum has a lisp!

    Other than that, CG Golum is a computer generated image mapped on top of an actor, which makes his movements a lot more realistic. Or maybe they just got a really ugly person to play Golum ... you never can tell, can you?

    Like I said, it "leaves your porn out in the open".

    It's a fairly simple sentence, so it shouldn't be that hard to understand.

    Unfortunately it's not housebroken, so it will piss on your computer, hump the legs of your visitors, and even leave your porn out in the open!

    LOL :-)

    Just how does two questions regarding localization and usage qualify as trolling?

    Oh damnit ... now I'm trolling again, right?

    Damnit! That's another question, and questions are a sure sign of trolling, right?

  10. On USB-keychain? on Knoppix for Rapid Desktop Deployment · · Score: 2

    Can you make this run from/boot from a USB-keychain (those that has uptowards 1 GB of flash-RAM)? Okay, the ones I've seen are USB 1.1, so it's slow as hell, but at least you'd be able to have easy writable storage, and once you had it running you could store your preferences.

    And why yes, I did submit this as an "ask slashdot" with a lot more detail, but it was rejected :-/

  11. English version on Microsoft Alternative in Extremadura, Spain · · Score: 2

    Has anyone translated the distro to English or some other language than Spanish?

    Has anyone here tried it for that matter?

    I'm not (unless you want to mix in BSD/whatever).

    My point is that you can't compare Linux to Windows; that's like comparing a 2.0 L engine to a car. Add various stuff to it however, and you end up with a car, that you can compare to the other car.

    Yeah! Who do they think they are?

    And why the fuck do they decide, what language you should learn in school, or which side of the road to drive, let alone what currency to use?!?

    Sheesh! The nerve of some people.

  14. Re:Look at the picture on Microsoft Alternative in Extremadura, Spain · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ehm ... in a word:

    No.

    Linux is a kernel. Windows is an entire operating system.

    Add a bunch of various GNU/BSD/Whatever programs, and you end up with something, that sometimes are better than Windows, and sometimes with something that isn't.

  15. Re:Software Delivery on E-Mail Size Limits? · · Score: 2

    The thing I love about this is the explenation I got from Microsoft support one day.

    Had just installed the patch for Outlook 2000, that installed those filters.

    Not wanting that fucking filter, I called them and asked how to remove it.

    -You can't.
    -Why not?
    -Because it's hardcoded. If you can remove the filter, it can be removed via a macro.
    -But I've disabled macros in Outlook.
    -Yes, but they can be enabled again.
    -What? By a macro?
    -Yes.
    -So let me get this straight. You can make a macro that enables macros, if macros have been disabled in Outlook?
    -Yes.

    Then I hung up. Not sure if I got a nobrain supporter or if she was telling me the truth, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if she did.

    And just out of curiosity - what the fuck do you need a macro for in Outlook? What about in an e-mail? And please, before you answer the questing regarding the e-mail please shove all html-e-mails up someones ass, where they belong!

    Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
    Here's to hoping Microsoft picks up FreeBSD then.
